Would it be called The Duoverse, Trioverse...
What happens if there are billions?
Or should I just give up?

We are nowhere near using such a theory to predict anything. The present headscratching is over an attempt to construct a framework on which a theory can be hung.

Brane theory does not state how many there can be. There can indeed be an infinite (or close enough) number of universes out there. We cannot figure out because right now nothing we have can even observe the higher dimensions, simply because our minds and our tools are all limited by the 4 dimensional space they are in.

Might I suggest a book by a friend of mine...
It's called Warped Passages - Unravelling the Mysteries of the Universe's Hidden Dimensions by Lisa Randall.
Anyone with an undergraduate-level understanding of physics should be able to follow...
You can get a copy on Amazon...

Part of the problem with modern physics is that a lot of its propositions are like God - things that by their nature are impossible to detect or study.
Because of the influence of the mystic/physicist Bohr and the Copenhagen school, physics is almost pure mathematics these days. Most of the practical discoveries these days attributed to physicists are the result of more experimental physics rather than the mathematical physics.

Just give up.Right now it's all mathematical conjecture.
